"Chief executive officer Dave Ditzel claimed the two chips will,
respectively, rev into high gear the market for Internet-based
mobile-computing devices and spark a new generation of low-powered
notebook computers."
"We have rethought the microprocessor," Ditzel crowed...."
"Still, the IBM connection may bring something far more important than
just ample fab capacity-something Transmeta said was guaranteed in
its agreement. That is, IBM is covered by a cross-licensing deal
(previously hammered out via Cyrix) that grants it rights to key Intel
Corp. patents. That could be a good legal buffer if Intel-likely
Transmeta's main competitor-contemplates any courtroom maneuvers."
